I found this interview difficult to masturbate too.

#metoo

Wait, did I use that wrong..?
 
I read the whole interview with Edi McClurg's voice in place of Mrs. Loftis'.

As for Nintendo the only game I can think of is Mario x Rabbids. The high bar? Do you have any other examples?

Bayonetta 2 I guess on WiiU. But no one would call that a successful game...and Sega owns the Ip...and Ubisoft owns Rabbids

*pushes back glasses further up and points to the heavens* well, actually SEGA developed a few f-zero and Olympic Games for/with Nintendo...

Lol, I don't usually buy my paint from major establishments but when I do it's at Home Depot because the cute girl behind the counter has the most kawaii midwestern accent, it's borderline stereotypical Canuck (FYI I'm in SoCal).

Sure...for Gamecube and Wii. How is that supporting his claim that MS has a defecit compared to Nintendo? Nintendo has basically been sitting it out on consoles since the Wii collapse in 2010. One good year this year doth not make up for the prior lacklusture 5, nor does one lousy 2017 undo Microsofts previous superior 6.

Generally speaking if MS sat on 80% of its output since 2010 and released them this year...well 2017 would have been awesome, but 2010-2016 would have been barren as 2017...too bad all those games came out i guess.

He said they had a deficit of first party games compared to the others which is obvious. I think his point about external studios is that is what they have to rely more than the others.
 


I heard the IP got moved to a new dev, and they started from scratch. If that’s true, I’d expect to see something at E3 this year.

But I honestly haven’t heard anything in a long time.

Could the existing code have been given to other developers?

I *think* so, but I heard from more than one person that it was being redone entirely, and that we wouldn’t see anything from it for at least 2-3 years....but IIRC that was about 2 years ago, so we’ll see.

Hmmm, could P* still have a hand in it, sorta like an advisory role instead of doing any development....dude, what if The Coalition’s second team were to be working on it?
 
Nice if they do it for a feel good announcement but whatever reason to believe in it at all originally was because of Platinum so eh
 
Agree with the above but I thought the concept was pretty cool. Hoping they keep the general idea alive and run with it.
 


Unless MS sold them or PG the IP no.

Also it ran like arse on Xbox so would need to be massively downgraded to run on switch

I could imagine Platinum wanting to get the IP but hard to think MS would let it go if for no other reason than to avoid the bad PR

Jason Schreirer thinks its someone getting their wires crossed about Astral Chain
 
Didn’t want to say I told ya, buuuuut yeah ;-)

Although admittedly I was told MS gave it to another developer to develop for Xbox. Have to see how this turns out but I hope it comes out either way.
 
Not sure why MS would sell the IP. Especially since they added a couple studios that would be great for that project.
 
Cool, the upgrade switch that's rumored might run it better. Or next gen Nintendo console.

This "IP" has been leveraged into literally zeroes of released games. I don't think there's any real value to it unless they did a s***ton of background worldbuilding (like, say, they did for Kingdoms of Amalur).
 
INSIDE GAMING says it is probably a NO. Long story short a developer from Platinum basically stated that the code would have to be dropped and started fresh. He also agreed that the IP ownership would be difficult. Not saying they or the guy is right.

Makes sense, I can’t see the Switch matching the detail that was presented but I’d be ok if it was stylized...but then I can’t see kamiya wanting to downgrade on what was essentially his dream/passion project.

With her saying “not an Xbox exclusive” she’s not directly implying that it won’t come out to the Xbox, besides it possibly coming to Switch, it may be coming to PC as well...I can’t recall if it was ever advertised for both Xbox and PC
 
All of this Nintendo/Xbox news lately is kind of wild, I guess anything is plausible at this point but that doesn't mean it's the whole story.
